Any Clear Answers On Whats Defective

[maximumrpm]

I know this has been done a million times but there is no CLEAR answers on what legal and what illegal for car mods. I live in QLD and would like to know 100% if these are legal:

BOV - With plumb back???

Pod Filter - Dry non oiled

Air/ Oil Seperator - Sealed with no atmosphere out

Cheers

Anything that alters the car from how it came from the factory is deemed as a modification.

And they are all illegal until engineered, im farily certain thats how it would work.

99% of places dont care that a plumb-back and that sorta thing as it works the same and that kinda thing.

Also it comes down to your state regulations.

One state is different to another. Total pain in the ass.

If you want state answers, ask in the QLD section would be better.

All mods are something police/AUVIS can pick you on.

The BOV plumbed back will be engineerable if it's too loud. The pod .. same thing. Air/oil - as long as the crank case isn't venting to atmosphere.

Even after engineering doesn't mean you won't get police picking on you

that really sucks...what about exhausts???? just has to be under 90db...and what about intercoolers???

[R31Nismoid]

Mate, these questions have been covered before. In all sections.

and 2 people have stated... anything is illegal. Any Mod.

Just cause an exhaust passes sound, doesnt mean its roadworthy

any mod from the original state of the car must be EPA/Enginnered to be legal.

and thats anything

[maximumrpm]

ok thanks for your help

[someonestolecc]

Intercoolers won't be blue slipped in NSW without an engineers and even after that can be defected.

Exhaust has to pass EPA and noise and ground clearance... all engineerable but still defectable.

[inissane]

so basically they make it a grey area but at their disgression they can screw you, because to the letter any mod is illegal???

seriously that is engineering the law to have loop holes and to be inconsistent, no wonder there is so much confusion because they dont make a law and enforce it properly

I know this is flogging a dead horse in a sense but is there not some truth there??

if you need specifics it is always best to call QT and find out
